Greetings all!
My university was gifted with a media server with Green Hippo V2. In the short time we have had it, the number of shows involving projection have dramatically increased, and we are seriously considering adding a new discipline (or sub-discipline of lighting design) to our program because of it.
To really flesh it out, I want to try and get us the proper equipment we'll need to accommodate our different performance spaces and multiple applications. Our projector inventory right now is rather meager, a few presentation projectors spread across different departments. Our association with the local rep theatre can occasionally yield us a 5k Panasonic projector and a couple High End System DL-1s, but they're not always practical for some of our spaces.
So, to that end, I'd like to hear about projectors you all have used and would endorse for mostly theatrical applications. Specs that I'm looking for in particular are interchangeable lens kits, lumens, wide range of input options, suitability for mounting/hanging/rigging/etc, reliable performance, the works. Price is not going to be a factor at this time, since it is unlikely we'll be able to get anything for a good while. However, if money does become available, I would love to be able to put a spec sheet into someones hands.
So, sound out about what has worked well for you, or any recommendations/endorsements you would have. Forum or PM will be great.
Thanks all!
